Process
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn with job details. I had a phone interview where they asked basic questions related to my current job and tech stack. At the end, they told me I could schedule an interview with Karat, a third-party vendor that conducts interviews based on some scripted questions.
Questions
I was asked to choose two technology areas, and I chose OOD and Front-end.
Questions related to the specific areas lasted 15 minutes, and I had coding questions for 45 minutes.
